Commander / EDH Artificer Equip Mono-White

Volio


Maybeboard


Basically I got tired of folks being super down on mono-white so I figured I'd make a deck. Nahiri the Lithomancer is a powerful equipment commander -- although she provides less draw than Sram, she provides inherent card advantage and ramp via her +2 and ramp/recursion via her -2. Her ult is fine, but ults are an upside if you're already in a strong position.

The deck is partly a fairly straightforward equipment deck -- excellent swords, the Kaldra equipment, etc, and partly a hatebear deck. White contains generally excellent hatebears, which also typically make for cheap/reasonable bodies to attach equipment to. Watchers of the Dead to shut down GY decks, Angel of Jubilation to handle aristocrat decks, Archon of Emeria and Ethersworn Canonist for spellslingers, etc. etc. The swords of course provide excellent protection on their own, but Devoted Caretaker acts as a Mother of Runes substitute that can protect our swords from many artifact destruction effects. Of course Nahiri can also bring them back if they manage to get hit by a vandalblast or reclamation sage.

Bloodforged Blade is an interesting one. Not crazy powerful on its own, but potentially insane when paired with Heavenly Blademaster Puresteel Paladin, or Balan, Wandering Knight.

Getting the balance right in this deck between ramp, draw, equipment, hatebears, removal, and equip-cost cheating effects was tricky, but I'm happy with this result. It's a fairly aggressive deck, but mostly seeks to slow opponents down via hatebear action rather than win straight out with combat damage like a typical white-weenie type of deck.
